Problems with the rsync command line syntax for multiple files

[tim.conway at philips.com]

Pete:  some(all?) of your filenames have colons, and most importantly, the 
first one does.  If you can get something in front of the filenames to 
show it's a file before the program decides it's a servername, it should 
go... since you're doing the current directory, ./ works nicely.
